Chapter 521 I&##x27;ll Wait for the Person You Mentioned

It was actually a strange man who answered the phone!

Nicole was clearer than anyone about who were in the family. Now that there was suddenly a stranger,
her heart pounded uncontrollably.

How was Laurel?

Did she also fall under Vincent's control?

If that was the case, wouldn't it be quite inappropriate for her to be with Tim now?

Nicole hurriedly got up, but bumped into Tim who came out of the cloakroom.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Nicole's expression was a little unnatural, Tim couldn't help but ask.

"I have to go back. Laurel might be in danger."

Saying that, Nicole got up and was about to leave, but Tim grabbed her by the arm.

"What exactly happened? Since you can come here with me, it means that you have no other choice.
Otherwise, you wouldn't risk your reputation, as I know how much you care about Samuel. And your
coming with me shows that you cannot return to the Greens for the time being, so what are you going
to do now?"

Well, Tim was actually quite smart. Perhaps, if he stopped behaving like a playboy, he could be on a
par with Samuel.

Nicole looked at Tim and said thoughtfully, "I shouldn't tell you about the Greens, nor should I trouble
you, but now I really have no other choice."



"Tell me. You know I would never flinch at your problems, no matter they're related to the Greens or
whomever."

The more Tim said this, the more Nicole felt that she owed him too much. She couldn't give Tim the
love he wanted, but she kept dragging him down, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Actually, you don't have to be so good to me."

"I owe my life to you. And I should do whatever I can for you. I know what you're thinking. You're afraid
that you will owe me too much and you won't be able to pay it back in the future, right? Nicole, listen
carefully. I, Tim, owe you this life. If it wasn't for you when I was little, I would have died in that fire. How
could I survive to be this Mr. Tim today? Even if I like you, that's my own business. It has nothing to do
with you. You don't need to feel burdened. It's fine if you treat me like a brother or a friend. As long as
you still need me, it's the best for me."

Nicole didn't dare to look back at his gaze.

He was so straightforward.

"Thank you."

Nicole had so many to say, but in the end, she could only say these two words to express her feelings.

"It's too much. There's no need for us to thank each other. Tell me, what's going on?"

Tim pulled Nicole to the bedside and sat down.

Nicole's nervousness eased somewhat.

"I'm worried that Laurel might have been controlled."

Nicole softly told Tim about Vincent, and about Zoe being taken away by him.



Tim frowned slightly.

"Are you really talking about Vincent?"

Tim's question left Nicole a bit stunned.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?"

Nicole smiled bitterly.

If possible, she also hoped that the despicable guy was not Vincent. After all, it would be much easier if
he wasn't a relative.

However, Tim still frowned and said, "Although I don't like Samuel very much, I have to say that I,
Samuel, and Vincent grew up together. We messed around together when we were kids. No matter
what, Vincent would not do this to Samuel. Moreover, he respects Laurel the most. There's no chance
for him to do this to her."

Hearing Tim, Nicole sighed and said, "But this is the situation now. Perhaps Vincent was not like this
when he was little, but now, he is really an enigma to me. Maybe he really likes Riley. And after Riley
died, he pinned all the blame on Samuel and me. It's not impossible that he has changed."

"Even if it was because of Riley, Vincent would not do anything to Samuel."

Tim was so sure and that made Nicole somewhat surprised.

"Why do you say that?"

Tim pondered for a while and said, "Perhaps he would estrange with Samuel because of Riley, he will
definitely not harm Samuel and the people he cares about. Moreover, the Vincent I know would never
harm women and children. Even if we haven’t been in touch for five years, I'm sure he wouldn't attack



you and your child for what he wants. In Vincent's opinion, matters between men should be settled by
men only. If what you said is true -- he really likes Riley and hates you and Samuel because of her --
then he will directly come to you and fight Samuel, regardless of life or death. He would never play
tricks on his own family because of his love affairs. But judging from what you said, Vincent's every
move is all planned in advance to lure you into the trap step by step. It doesn't look like his style. And
Vincent loves children the most and will never harm his own son, even if there are all sorts of reasons!"

Nicole was slightly stunned.

"Are you sure you're talking about Vincent?"

"I'm one hundred percent sure. However, I can't see through Vincent now."

"What do you mean?"

Nicole's eyes suddenly narrowed. She seemed to have heard something hidden from Tim's words.

Tim just shook his head and said, "There is no basis for what we say now. I will take you to see
someone."

"Who?"

"Swift Jerry."

Nicole was slightly stunned.

Only then did she remember that Tim had taken Swift away from the hospital after Swift tried to
assassinate her.

"Where is she?"

"Right here!"



Nicole was stunned again. She never thought that Tim would keep Swift in the Louis’ old mansion.

"Surprised?"

"Yeah!"

Tim smiled again. His smile was still heartless, but for some reason, Nicole felt somewhat sad for him.

Few people knew how many loneliness and scars were hidden beneath his smile.

"Why is she here? I thought you gave him to Jacob."

Hearing Nicole's words, Tim sneered and said, "Jacob? He's quite capable, but too reserved. He relies
too much on Samuel and can't achieve anything."

"Don't say that about Jacob. He's actually quite outstanding. If it weren't for his gratitude, he wouldn't
have stayed by Samuel's side for all this time. In the end, you two are brothers. No one have the ability
to reset the grudges of the previous generation. Jacob is also not easy these years, so can't you just..."

"Nicole, if you say anything about Jacob anymore, I'll be mad at you."

Tim looked quite pissed off.

He has a knot in his heart and no one can unravel it.

Seeing him like this, Nicole could only stop.

"Alright, where's Swift?"

Tim's expression softened slightly.

"Come with me. She's in our basement."



Tim left the room with Nicole and they went straight to the basement.

Ballard and his woman were no longer in the living room. The servants also avoided Tim, which made
Nicole less embarrassed.

They quickly arrived at the basement.

After only a few days, Swift had already lost her spirit. If she hadn't seen this with her own eyes, Nicole
wouldn't dare to believe that the person in front of her was Swift.

The well-maintained face had lost its luster due to the endless torment and the lack of sunlight.
Wrinkles started to emerge.

Tim really didn't show any mercy to Swift. Her body was covered in injuries. New wounds joined with
old ones, making her unbearable to the eyes.

"Swift?"

Nicole whispered.

Swift suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw Tim and Nicole, her eyes shone with hatred.

"You bitch! Damn you!"

"Stop cursing. You want to be punished again, don't you?"

Tim said indifferently, but Swift couldn't help but shiver. A trace of fear flashed through her eyes.

Nicole did not know how Tim treated Swift, but judging from the fact that he could make such an
arrogant woman like this, she could tell the ruthlessness behind Tim's smile.



She never thought that Tim was a kind guy, only the world was deceived by his playful smiling face.

Nicole coughed and said, "How much do you know about Vincent?"

"He is my daughter's man and my grandson's father. But that coward always put Samuel and Laurel
first. My daughter must have been blind to actually gave birth to a child for such a man! If I had known
that he was such a coward, I would never allow Riley to be with him at all!"

When Swift mentioned Vincent, she was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Nicole could tell she
wasn't faking it.

"Are you saying that the people Vincent cares about the most are Samuel and Laurel?"

Swift looked at Nicole and said coldly, "Stop pretending. If Vincent had any hatred towards Samuel,
Samuel wouldn't have survived in the Seapolis City, and you would never have the chance to treat like
this. Nicole, don't be complacent. Someday someone will deal with you and Samuel for me!"

"Who's this someone?"

Nicole felt that there was an underlying meaning in Swift's words, but unfortunately, Swift kept quiet.

"She's asking you."

Tim directly kicked her, probably hurt her wound. The pain made Swift shiver, but she still didn't say a
word.

Obviously, that person was Swift's last hope.

Who was that person?

Nicole frowned slightly and couldn't figure it out. But since Swift wouldn't say it, she knew that she
couldn't get it from Swift no matter what.



"I'll wait for the person you mentioned."

After that, Nicole left with Tim.

The air wasn't fresh in the basement, and Nicole felt that her body couldn't stand it. She nearly fell
down before Tim hurriedly supported her.

"Are you alright? Do you need me to call Blair?"

"No need. I can still hold on. But I suddenly feel that there really might be something wrong with this
Vincent."

Nicole seemed to be talking to herself, but her face was very serious.

She and Samuel had never doubted Vincent before. Now that she thought about it, the Vincent now
was wrong in every way.
